PbindFx: an interface for sequencing effect graphs in the SuperCollider audio programming language

Authors Info & Claims
Published:18 September 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

The class PbindFx, contained in miSCellaneous_lib [1], an extension of SuperCollider (SC, [5]), enables the sequencing of arbitrary audio effect (fx) graphs and corresponding parameter sequences. In this context an fx graph means a graph of SC SynthDefs, i.e. synthesis and/or processing instruments, which themselves are naturally defined by graph structures. Therefore PbindFx can be understood as a flexible meta-synthesis tool, including the possibility of realtime replacement of all of its constitutive elements. When applied with sequencing of short events unusual variants of granular synthesis can be achieved. This special application has been demonstrated in my artistic research project kitchen studies, which is documented in the artistic research database Research Catalogue [2], miSCellaneous_lib includes the source code of the fixed media piece of the same name.
